Te tomaré una foto (lyrics and English translation)
Since I won't be here Monday to do "my" night of La Fea, I thought I'd leave you with this... Some of you are much better at this than I am, so feel free to whale away on my translation in the comments ... it's really a lovely song.
I'll remember forever, even if you don't want me to.
I'll marry you, don't expect more.
I've looked for you and I've found you, all in a little bit of time,
And because I'm afraid of losing you I'll take your picture.
I'll remember forever, and I know you don't want me to.
I'll call you, because you won't answer.
It makes me laugh, now, to think of you being a game.
I lost you, and then I took another picture,
Because you'd escape quickly from my hand,
And a day will turn quickly into a year,
And you’ll forget me.
When it rains, profiles and houses resemble you,
and it will be so beautiful...
For you, joy and pain have the same flavor.
I'd just like this night to be over quickly
and [I wish] what you've always said to me would never come back.
And I want love, and everything you always knew how to give me,
and if you only want to wound me, then I want indifference.
I recognized your glance in that of a shopgirl.
Even though if you were here I would sense you feeling distant
To be more honest I feel very small
My biggest nightmare, my enormous dream
We're children of different worlds, (but) with the same memory
That a naive person draws and erases, the same story,
And you'll forget me ... (chorus)
The memory won't be enough
I want you to come back now.
Recordaré por siempre aun si no querrás
Me casaré contigo no te lo esperas mas
Te he buscado y te he encontrado, todo en un solo rato
Y por la ansia de perderte te tomaré una foto
Recordaré por siempre y sé que no querrás
Te llamaré porque tu no contestaras
Ahora me hace reír pensarte como un juego
Te perdí y entonces ya te tomo otra foto
Por qué escaparías pequeña ahora desde mi mano
Y un día se transformará veloz en un año
Y te olvidarás de mi
Cuando llueve, perfiles y casas recuerdan a ti
Y será hermosísimo
Por ti tienen un solo sabor alegría y dolor
Quisiera
Solo que ahora pueda pronto irse esta noche
Y lo que siempre me dijiste nunca mas regrese
Y quiero amor y todo lo que siempre sabes darme
Y quiero indiferencia si solo querrás herirme
Reconocí tu mirada en la de un pasante
Aun si estuvieras aquí te sentiría distante
Y para ser mas honesto me siento muy pequeño
Mi pesadilla mas grande mi enorme sueño
Somos hijos de mundos distintos de misma memoria
Que ingenua dibuja y borra la misma historia
Y te olvidarás de mi ...
No bastará el recuerdo
Ahora quiero tu regreso

Very interesting about your cousin and too bad you didn't get to know each other better, just because cousins should always know each other, whether famous or not.
Oh, and remember, this Caray Caray recapper was in the movie for which Will Smith was nominated for an Oscar as best actor which ended up going to Forest Whittaker. I am small, and my appearance is rapid, very, very, rapid, quite rapid indeed, but I'm on the screen nonetheless, and right next to Mr. Smith, so that was pretty fun. If you have the DVD and pause when he's on the escalator chasing the hippie chic, well there I am. I have no coat tails though. Couldn't even get in to see a preview, go figure. College kids in Maryland got to see the damn film free for Fri. movie night before the background artists! Something is wrong with that, but what are you going to do, at least I got paid... :)

I think I'll get Tiziano Ferro's CD upon the recommendation. Thanks for the tip.
Melinama, thanks for the lyrics and translation. I was completely captivated by his voice and the lyrics make it even better. I have to get this CD.
Kris, I just got the Pursuit of Happyness from my local library. I'll make sure to find you in the film and didn't you say something about your kite making an appearance, as well?
